Since Dad completed the new kitchen table, (with Jacob's help of course) we've been using the 3 bar stools from the basement. That's right, 3 barstools. The first two days Dad stood in his spot at the table. The next day he grabbed his work stool from his workroom and sat on that. Mom had told him about these cool stools she'd seen. Dad went with us and checked them out. Okay he said, we'll get those and he can sand the black finish off and paint those a green color to match the rest of the kitchen. We made a trip to Walmart, Joanne's Fabric, and Home Depot to get all the stuff Dad needed for the project. He spent a bunch of time in the garage sanding and what not while Jacob and I stayed inside with Mom while she sewed some stuff for us.
It was kinda cold out, and Dad said the paint wasn't sticking quite right, but he brought the first one in for us to see. He noticed a couple spots where the primer still showed through, it's not as bright in the garage as it is in the kitchen. I think both he and Mom liked it, it's a different shade of green than the other stuff in there, but that's good, they don't want everything looking the same.
Mom picked up an adult nightgown and modified to fit me. I really love it, Mom does a kick booty job with her sewing maching.
Here's Jacob with the camo pants Mom made for him tonight.
Since Dad only finished one stool, I think Jacob and I will be fighting to see who gets to use it during meals. Dad better hurry up and finish the rest, cause this one is all mine.
